Pythons should live in their native habitat. I would like to see government scientists address the problem themselves in an orderly and compassionate manner instead of enlisting blood-thirsty civilians.

Moreover, devastation to the Everglades has been wrought largely by humans. There has been huge destruction caused to the fragile Everglades by the sugar industry. For more info see Cost to the Environment and Florida Everglades which explains:

In 2000, Congress and President Clinton approved a multi-billion dollar Comprehensive Everglades Restoration Plan or CERP -- the most ambitious environmental renewal effort ever -- to restore waterflows and bolster wildlife populations in South Florida. A major focus of this "replumbing" involves reversing the damage done a half century ago when the Army Corps of Engineers built a network of canals, levees and water-control structures to divert millions of gallons of water each day from the Everglades to the Atlantic Ocean and the Gulf of Mexico. Congress also put in place legal requirements, such as required water allocations for the Everglades, to make sure that the ecosystem remains CERP's top priority and to prevent it from being hijacked to primarily serve the needs of agricultural interests and developers.
